Germany predicts two years of coronavirus pandemic to the world

167

Propagating in waves, the coronavirus can last for several years. True, the propagation speed of these waves is difficult to calculate.

Such an assumption was made by the director of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) Lothar Wheeler.



According to the German scientist, the coronavirus pandemic will last another two years. And even the creation of a vaccine will have little effect on the number of cases. But creating a vaccine will help limit the pandemic, so the sooner it is created, the better.

Lothar Wheeler suggests that over the next two years, approximately 60-70 percent of the world's population will be ill with coronavirus, after which humanity will develop immunity against this infection.

The scientist believes that the duration of the pandemic will depend on a complex of factors, including the number of cases, the development of immunity to COVID-19, and the duration of the vaccine.

Wheeler does not undertake to predict the level of mortality during the coronavirus pandemic. He did not rule out the possibility that the restrictive measures introduced by many countries to limit the spread of infection would not cancel until the pandemic ends.

The Koch Institute is considered one of the leading research institutions in Germany, administered by the country's Ministry of Health.

      Ungrateful thing is to make forecasts. Moreover, now there is still only a pandemic and not an epidemic.

          The difference is "only" in scale. The epidemic is local and the pandemic is global.

            There is a statistical model built on Chinese data. The first 2-3 weeks the disease does not manifest itself in the infected. With this in mind, the pandemic is already in full swing. If you wait for at least 5% of the population to become infected, this will mean that almost everyone is infected.

                Where everything was started, the mortality rate is about 5%. Where they have decided to "overdo it," there is still less than 1%. So far, the worst death / recovery ratio in Italy is 0.85, which is almost fifty / fifty. Judging by the fact that our authorities really want to hold a "vote" on the Constitution, shap-handed moods will continue to prevail, which means that the percentage will be rather big.

        It is not a thankful job to evaluate expert forecasts without even understanding the definitions!
        According to the Great Russian Encyclopedia, epidemic - this is the spread of an infectious disease that significantly exceeds the level of normal morbidity in a given area.
        Pandemic - This is an epidemic characterized by the spread of an infectious disease to the entire country, the territory of neighboring states, and sometimes many countries of the world.

                You are right in that))) But not in our case ... The epidemic threshold has already been passed. It is not possible to localize the infection, there is nothing to treat. In the Russian Federation, everything is just beginning ... After 2 weeks of sick (officially) there will be several thousand (I am still optimistic). There are no masks in pharmacies. We will eat arbidol)))

                    Hundreds of Hindu believers threw a party on March 14 at which they drank cow urine in the hope that it would protect them from the coronavirus. A group called Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (All India Hindu Union) held a party on Saturday in Delhi, the capital of the country, where they drank urine in the hope of protecting themselves from the virus. The event was attended by about 200 people, and the organizers are going to hold similar meetings in other areas of India, where 84 cases of the disease were recorded, as a result of which two people died.
                    One of the men present said that he had been drinking cow urine for 21 years, taking a bath with cow dung, and had never been ill.

And I don’t know what "ordinary mask" is for you either. Available without an exhalation valve, looking like a rag, but in protection class 2 or 3. Enough for 8 hours. The cost was 25 rubles.

                          What are your packaged pharmacies. In our city, only in specialized stores there was some variety and it was a couple of months ago ... There was almost no third "class" of protection at all, except through the Internet, and then the prices are higher than those that you indicated, so it's cheaper to purchase a PMM mask (type BRIZ-4301M) + filters (the cheapest, + review, + mask (will not fog up), + checked by deed).

                  The epidemic threshold has long been passed. It is not possible to localize the infection, there is nothing to treat

                  Why ? Let me remind you - in the 20th century there were outbreaks and plague and cholera and anthrax and all of them were quickly localized and defeated in literally weeks. Now what? Have forgotten how to fight? AND ? Or just someone really needs this coronavirus?

                But common sense suggests that while there is no epidemic, talking about a pandemic is premature.

                By announcing an epidemic in a single country and a pandemic on a global scale, scientists thus admit that they cannot stop the spread of the "Wuhan Infection". When an epidemic / pandemic is declared, it is possible to allocate large funds for, for example, the development of a vaccine, moreover, several institutions at once.

                Your common sense is right and wrong at the same time. hi If you do NOT declare urgency, you can simply overload the health care system, even one that is developed as in Germany, and then there will be panic and a complete collapse with all the consequences.

                At the same time, there are precedents when a pandemic was declared (swine flu), and it came out - zilch. More precisely, billions of dollars / euros were very nicely "mastered" by the pharmaceutical industry, and the pandemic turned out to be just another flu.

        Why watch when around us nihilistic stupid nonsense and obscurantism.
        In St. Petersburg at the Smolensk cemetery is the chapel of Ksenia of Petersburg, a particularly revered local saint. There are always a lot of people here. The place is called prayer. I get to worship in the chapel tightly. Not a single face in the mask. People go to the icon in a row, kiss it - I have time to notice that some wipe the glass with an antiseptic cloth, but few. Then they kiss the stone sarcophagus of the saint in the same manner. It is quiet, calm, warm, singing in beautiful voices - it seems as if a dangerous virus is raging in parallel reality.
        I understand the tradition of kissing the cross (and the Orthodox now have a week of the Cross, but this is a direct way of spreading the coronavirus. And even that the question of closing churches for quarantine is not being discussed. Earlier, the St. curtail the worship of relics because of the pandemic. And the archpriest of the Kazan Cathedral said that the virus cannot spread in the temple, because "the Lord will heal everyone."
        And THIS is all over Russia.
        From this, cities died out in the "plague years".

          21.02 - 19
          22.02 - 62

          26.02 - 378
          27.02 - 650
          28.02 - 888
          29.02 - 1.128
          01.03 - 1.694
          02.03 - 2.036
          03.03 - 2.502
          04.03 - 3.089
          05.03 - 3.858

          07.03 - 5.883
          08.03 - 7.375
          ...

          The number of infections in Italy in the last day amounted to 2470,

                    why's that? It is not known how the disease will end, some of the sick will still die, and you think by the number of sick. It does not carry any information; it only makes sense after the pandemic is over.
                    the percentage is calculated according to the results of the disease, that is, for those who have recovered or died from it, according to their ratio

                      To understand: The first column of the table is the age group, the second is the distribution of deaths by age group, the third is mortality (percentage of deaths among those infected).

                      According to the data shown in the table, in Italy there are no deaths from coronavirus among those under the age of 30. Only 30% of deaths occur in the age group of 49 - 0,7 years; they have a probability of mortality from coronavirus - 02 - 03%.

                      Age group 50 - 69 years - 11,2% of deaths, average mortality - 1,0 - 3,2%.

                      The highest mortality rate in the elderly group. Therefore, every tenth infected person dies due to coronavirus if he is over 70 years old. In this group, mortality is 11%.

                      Moreover, 60% of the dead are men, 40% are women.

                      As of March 17, the highest mortality rate was recorded in Italy. There, 7,71% of patients died from coronavirus. This is followed by Iran (6,11%). Spain (4,5%) and China (3,99%). In other countries, mortality is noticeably lower - less than 2,5 percent.

                          It is clear that at the initial stage the number of deaths is relatively high, because they die faster than they can be cured.
                          That is, 10 got sick, during the week 1 died, and they will recover another week, and so we get a strange figure

                          Not a big remark. The world-wide data in this case, by and large, are Chinese data. And there is a difference with% of elderly people compared to Europe and big doubts about the accuracy of their data. Mortality from coronavirus can easily be hidden in the pneumonia columns and other diseases that hurt dead with already weak immunity - oncology, HIV, cardiovascular, asthma, etc.
                          The real% of deaths can be calculated when the EU, the USA, etc. get sick. Where the "starting conditions" are more or less the same. I think that in the countries in which the epidemic started later in Italy, the indicators will approach the Italian

                          And then most likely, with an increase in the number of cases, the estimate should increase simply because of the increased load on doctors and hospitals

Yesterday, for publication in a scientific journal, Italian doctors published X-ray images of the lungs of a Chinese couple of tourists, which were the first two cases in Italy back in February. The consequences are terrible, the lungs are almost destroyed. For three weeks, the lungs were flooded with pus, blood and other fluids, the circulatory system of the lungs was destroyed.

      Adequate doctors, whose voices are hammered by the screams of alarmists, claim that the coronavirus infection is a "paper tiger". She is absolutely too tough for children (who are easily knocked down by any other viral infections), she only tangentially touches people under 50, and poses a real danger only for elderly patients with a bunch of serious concomitant diseases. That is, it does not threaten humanity as a biological species in the slightest degree - unlike the plague, smallpox
      or cholera. Coronavirus infection is new, therefore it is quite contagious, but it will stop by itself when immunity to it appears in at least 50 percent of people. And then everyone will forget about her. It will become ordinary and no more dangerous than all other viral ARI, of which there are hundreds of varieties. Coronavirus is already walking around the globe and will take its 50 percent in any case - at least disinfect everything with water, at least with holy water, even with a tambourine dance. And all these quarantines, in fact, only delay the process of formation of the immune layer. It is because of them that the epidemic can drag on for several years, instead of ending in a few months.

      The coronavirus epidemic began in China, then the virus spread to other countries, but did not become an epidemic yet, but it became global. (pandemic). That is how many politicians formulate a pandemic, among them there are practically no professional virologists. For them, a pandemic is not a global epidemic, but the territory where the disease spreads. Therefore, misunderstandings arise.

If the authorities reported that from March 15 to 16 a thousand new infected were detected, then already over the past 182 hours their number has grown by almost two thousand. 491 patients died per day, and a total of an illness took the lives of XNUMX citizens of Spain. Nearly six hundred people are now in serious condition.

      on the topic of the virus ... in Crimea there is not a single case, but yesterday all state were quarantined. universities (although all kindergartens and schools operate in normal mode) ... now students will fly-go home for 3 weeks, and this is the floor of Russia, LDNR, and the CIS countries ... and in three weeks they will return ...
      and now the question of the task?) where are more likely to become infected? and what stupid people make such decisions?

      Let's look at the coronavirus from a philosophical point of view: the almost Equal Biblical Great Equalizer has come! Everyone is sick - poor and rich, beautiful and terrible, smart and stupid, white and black, democrats and totalitarianists, atheists and believers .... Reminder of sins? Clicking on the nose of arrogant people? How to know ....

      Such an assumption was made by the director of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) Lothar Wheeler.

      He would have better stated why the swine flu vaccine cost 250 million euros!
      They scared everyone with swine flu, they scared him, and he took it and disappeared later! After the sale of the British emergency vaccine. They bought a vaccine, but there’s no more flu ...
      So now ...

      60-70 ٪ - a lot! If we take mortality in the region of 2-4% of the sick (now the ratio of sick and dead is approximately the same) - we get about 1-2% of the total population of the planet! This is just an unrealistic big number! Something the Germans are overwhelming with panic!


      Now there are already at least two variants of the virus, stiff and with milder symptoms - the course of the disease.
      Due to the fact that people can carry the mild variant on their feet or be confused with the common cold, the mild variant of the virus will spread much faster and give new mutations in which even lighter variants will have the same advantage in spreading. Therefore, most who fall ill with coronavirus will suffer from its light version where the mortality rate is lower.
      Of course, nuances are possible, but this is the most linearly predicted option.

      Then the Germans predict 70% in TWO years. During this time, the most effective treatment options by traditional means will be developed. There will be several different vaccine options from different farm companies. So mortality will be lower than now.

      The worst thing is the explosive increase in the number of cases at this stage. Then medical resources will not be enough for patients with a severe course of the disease. The lack of intensive care for such patients is equivalent to death.

        Judging by what is happening in the world, very soon, neither you, nor me, nor anyone else on this site will be more worried about the problems of Germany. We will each be busy with our problems to such an extent that strangers will become of little interest to us.
